Cricket Prediction | Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe | 2nd T20I | May 05 – Will the host BAN be able to win the visiting ZIM?

BAN vs ZIM Match Analysis

In the second Twenty20 International of the five-match series, Zimbabwe will host Bangladesh on Sunday night in Chattogram. Just two days have passed since Bangladesh won the first match of the series by eight wickets with 28 balls remaining. On May 5, the T20I begins at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium at 18:00 local time.

Before this match, spirits in the home changing room will be high following such a successful tournament debut. When playing at home, Bangladesh is always a formidable opponent; this is especially true when playing white-ball cricket against a team as inconsistent as Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe has suffered severe losses in their last two Twenty20 Internationals, thus some of its more seasoned players will be needed to stand up in this match after the majority of them performed poorly on Friday. But even if everyone on the squad steps up, they might find it difficult to compete in these circumstances.

BAN vs ZIM Team Preview & Squads

Bangladesh

Bangladesh’s lone rookie in the series opener was Tanzid Hasan, and we anticipate that the hosts will start with the same lineup in this encounter. There have been no reports of injuries, and we anticipate that the Tigers will want to finish off a series victory before making any changes.

Tanzid Hasan, the opener, made an amazing debut, hitting eight fours and two sixes during his perfect innings. Now, he has scored three half-centuries for his country. Towhid Hridoy, a right-hander who is 23 years old, will be eager to bat on this pitch once more after scoring 33 runs off of just 18 balls on Friday.

In the first encounter of the series, left-arm medium-fast bowler Shoriful Islam went wicketless at a rate of 9.00 runs per over. But for the past eighteen months, he has been Bangladesh’s top bowler. Taskin Ahmed, a right-arm fast bowler, enters this match having already removed Sean Williams, Ryan Burl, and Clive Madande en route to winning the Player of the Match Award in the opening Twenty20 International.

Bangladesh Squads

Bangladesh Squads

Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Jaker Ali (wk), Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Towhid Hridoy, Taskin Ahmed, Mahmudullah, Mahedi Hasan, Shoriful Islam, Mohammad Saifuddin, and Rishad Hossain.

Zimbabwe

Joylord Gumbie, a keeper-batter from Zimbabwe, made his T20I debut in the opening match and looks to be set for the series after participating in 12 previous ODIs. He scored from the top five. Sikandar Raza can choose from a fit squad.

Craig Ervine, the 38-year-old opener, was among Zimbabwe’s four ducks during their batting innings on Friday, but he will get an early chance to atone for it in this match. In the first game, Clive Madande ranked six, scored the highest for Zimbabwe. He will aim to improve on his six fours from the Twenty20 international in this encounter.

On Friday, captain Sikandar Raza had a forgettable day as he went four wickets without taking a wicket after getting a golden duck. He is among Zimbabwe’s all-time best players, though. Richard Ngarava, a pace bowler, was the most economical player for the team in the first match, but he is now known as a strike-bowler, and he will be eager to prove it in this encounter.

Sikandar Raza (c), Joylord Gumbi (wk), Brian Bennett, Craig Ervine, Sean Williams, Clive Madande, Luke Jongwe, Ryan Burl, Wellington Masakadza, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani, and Ainsley Ndlovu.

BAN vs ZIM outfield report

Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram

Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field first, and on Friday they triumphed here. Thus, we believe that in this game, both teams would aim to field first and pursue.

In Chattogram, scattered thunderstorms are predicted throughout the entire Sunday. From beginning to end, there will be high humidity and a temperature of about thirty degrees.

Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium’s wicket is undoubtedly far better for batting than Zimbabwe’s total of 124 all out would imply. On a pitch with good carry, a par total is unquestionably higher than 165.
